Much has been made of Breaking Bad’s costume, with every colour on the spectrum having purportedly foreshadowed death at some point, but far more worthy of observation than the changing hue of Holly’s onesies are the suits of Saul Goodman, which have been thoroughly TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT since season one.

As far as Walt’s felonious secret life goes, Saul is his dirty little secret. A crooked, sleazy lawyer who is a permanent source of embarrassment to him and a representation of exactly the kind of cliched criminal Walt was trying to avoid by driving hundreds of miles out into the desert to cook in the first place.

They have a sort of old Vegas look to them, and in contrast to Jesse’s tracksuits and Walt’s beige jackets are testament to Saul’s ability to hide in plain sight, with far more success than his clients.

As the seasons progressed and Saul’s pockets deepened his suits have only got more ridiculous and more oddly appealing, reaching an apotheosis in season four episode Face Off with an absurd but wonderful combo of check stone suit, mint green shirt, tie pin, lavender pocket square and Wayfarer Flight 515 ribbon (worn long after the grieving period).

As he was dragged into season five, Saul’s lurid dress sense became so ingrained in our memories that he was recognisable by just a shirt sleeve cuff, which was seen beckoning Jesse into his office in season 5b episode Buried.

Bob Odenkirk’s character is Breaking Bad’s clown in a way, and a sad clown as that, especially as we saw him get in way over his head with a client who was fast becoming his slave master.

As Breaking Bad comes to the end of an almost perfect run, we can take some satisfaction in the fact that there will still be glimpses into the same universe in Saul’s very own spin-off Better Call Saul.

The prequel will no doubt be pitched more towards comedy, hopefully providing answers to how he went from criminal lawyer to criminal lawyer, where that Hello Kitty phone came from and, crucially, where he shops.
